This morning after watching a Bill Nye video on Fossils, students made notes throughout and then we completed a "Give One, Get One" task, where students share the notes they made from the video with partners. We used clock partners to share our ideas so students had a chance to work with peers other than the ones they usually sit with throughout each day. The goal of the task is to gather as many ideas as possible and it reinforces what they learned because they are explaining it and writing it more than once. They created a t-chart in their science journals with the headings of "Give One, Get One" to record their information.
